Hello, we are considering using Sunstone Pearl for our new pool....a large pool with a tanning shelf. Anyone choose Sunstone Pearl and regret it because of the feel? Secondly, we wanted a darker blue water effect so chose St. Lucia pearl. We went based on the sample as there don’t seem to be any pics out there of finished pools with that surface. It is a special order with an upcharge. Anyone use it or seen it in application?
Sunstone Pearl feel...St. Lucia Pearl color opinion?

Anybody have Sunstone Pearl that can comment on the feel on your feet? Good for kids?

I've never heard of them, but a quick google and they appear to be a Pebble Tec knock off. Thats what we are putting in and are doing the PebbleSheen as its a smaller aggregate so its not as rough. Those types of pebble finishes last longer than traditional plaster, are not prone to swirling like you see in some of the quartz finishes, but are also rougher. Good luck.

Good evening. What did you end up doing? We are looking at replastering our pool using Sun Stone. Any issues with yours?
Amazingly...we have not plastered yet, it is hopefully happening this week! We had a lot of delays with the county inspection process, and then the company has been slow between steps...but hopefully we finish this week. We are going with Sunstone Pearl St. Lucia Pearl. Not a lot of pictures out there of it. I read as much as I could on it and think the product is good, just optimistic that they applicators do a good job and that we like the color when it goes in. Good Luck!
Okay, plaster coming tomorrow. It will be a nice thing to be finished! Landscaping hopefully within the week too.

Think we just decided on Super Blue SunStone! Be sure to post pictures when you finish up... want to see the color.

Thought I would share some pics of St Lucia Pearl that I have found and also rec'd from a builder. Hopefully it can help with anyone researching this color in the future

We are in St Augustine, FL and if the original poster (Haymarket) has pictures of their finished pool with Sunstone St Lucia Pearl? We had to change our plaster and selected St Lucia pearl as our backup and would really like some recent pics. We wanted a medium deep blue color where you could still see to the bottom at a depth of 6'. Thanks in advance!
Did you get this pebble? I was curious if you did and had more pictures now. Thank you.Thought I would share some pics of St Lucia Pearl that I have found and also rec'd from a builder. Hopefully it can help with anyone researching this color in the future
Did you get the St. Lucia Pearl? That is what we are looking at now and I was curious if you had any pictures. Thank you.
Hi, we also were debating between St Lucia, Blue Pearl and Grey Reef Pearl. Any pictures of final products?
